    Best Italian Food?

    I love Sottovocce (on Libertador). A little pricey - but amazing home made pasta. Also - Piegari is good if you have a group. While the prices may seem high -- each dish is actually big enough for two very hungry people. The waiters even tell you this before you order! Piegari has 2...

    Brazil Guidebook?

    Check out Trip Advisor. They have printable PDFs I think. www.tripadvisor.com This website is great - ratings and reviews from 'ordinary' people, not the professionals who are paid by the venues.

    Restaurant Reviews?

    Dan at SaltShaker has the best scoop - IMO. And if you haven't tried it - try one of his SaltShaker meals in the private restaurant (his home). AMAZING!

    Before I officially add a KINDLE to my Xmas list - curious to know if anyone here has one and what kind of problems there may be?
